But such tered an unfriendly word against the fame of Jackson?” Not the Journal, not the Recorder, not the Constitutional ist !!—In a letter of 12th January, 1S31, Mr. Lumpkin writes—“The editor of the Globe and myself are, and have been, for some time past, living under tlie same roof. He is, what he professes to lie, a thorough-going Jackson man—He will go the whole against every power, and so will Duff Green—that interferes with Georgia in her exercise of full and complete jurisdiction over the In dians.” These letters were written in the onurse of a friendly and private eorresponde.nce, under circumstances which yn to show the sincerity of the sentiments they convey. Mr. Lumpkin did not design them for the public eye— never expected they would be published-*-nor will not know that they have been, till this article meets his eye, or some one gives him the information. We publish them however, because we know and the public must know, that he never has, and we are assured in our own minds, never will disavow these sentiments. One of them shows the deep interest he takes in our rights over the Cherokee lands. Much has been said about Air. Lumpkin’s inconsisten cy, (the guilty too have cast the stone) and even the very courteous term, hypocrisy, has been applied to him, be cause he first declined, and then yielded to the wish of his friends. Now we know Mr, Lumpkin’s sincerity —nay, earnestness, in this matter. We were among those who solicited him to offer—we have his replies, shewing his anxious wish and determination, during the last win ter, not to be a candidate fin - Governor. Putting these extracts before our opponents, we are aware, is like “throwing pearl before swine”—they will probably turn, and attempt to rend us and Mr. Lumpkin. But, to continue the simile, we are determined, they shan’t grit their teeth and grunt, for nothing? “Tlie Clark paper in this place” has a few questions for a paper in this place, which lately advocarcj the cause of Adams against Jackson—to wit—The Southern Recor der. 1st.

From the position in which the armies are, a very few days must bring decisive inte 1 i igence. The Standard, on tlie authority of private letters, endeavored to speaks confidently of the defeat of tlie Poles, and with goes so far as to assert that Warsaw was ready to open her gates to the merciless and sanguinary DiehitscJi.

We should like to see a little better poetry, as we have new type to set it in.

That confi dence had remain unshaken, for the course of nearly twenty-seven years—the period of Air. Lumpkin’s ardu ous and important public services to ihe people of Geor gia. When that jvopie w ished to place him in another appointment, contrary to his individual inclinations, he certainly owed to them, to state his private objections t< . the new coarse proposed by his friends. He therefore did so—but lie did if, under circumstances more unfavor able to.a true knowledge of die public voice, that tlie cir- cur. Unices under which his late ietier was wriiren, con ceding his own opinions to tlie public vvill, ascertained more fully on his return to Georgia, from his duties at W ashington. To have acted otherwise, would have ocen to violate that rule by which his public life has been uniformly governed—and by which all officers, in a republic, should be governed. ?>o far therefore from turning his letter of February into an argument against him, it is one <>f the strongest rea ms why he should be more cordially supported. In that letter he'stated the reasons which influenced Ills own mind to decline die invration—-this was his duty. So soon however as he ascertained that the genera] wishes of his friends called him fo the Executive chair—when lie could no longer doubt what those wishes were—when he found that lus own individual opionion, was arrayed against that of his friends—then duty was changed, with the change of circumstances—and w hen lie put. to him self tlie. question—“Shall 1 hold out obstinately against their wiSh and adhere pertinaciously to my ownl—Have not these people placed me where I now tun—and have they not the right to change my position?”—true to die principle, that the Represent alive should yield to the will of his consiituents—Air. Lumpkin could give but one answer. He has given it—and tlie pe< pie, a; the polls, wdl respond to it. None, but those, who would have been his enemies under any circumstances, will object to And iVir. Lumpkin’s own conscience must, in future, approve this submission to the will of his constituents. It is no new thing in Georgia—ceriainly not among our opiionents—to elevate a favorite candidate from one honorable post to another. Like the centurion of old, they have had, and still have, their servants, ready 4.0 climb the bidder of lame and profit, font one round to an other, at the bid of their leaders. They say to this man, “ieave your present office for another”—and lie leaves'll —They say to that man, “quit this office, and go up higher”—aud he quits, and goes up higher. They are minute-men in these matters—a!ways ready and willing to march up to a more honorable and influential station, —Clinging fast, at the same time, to the old commission,. till they get the new one. Nor is it a new tiling in the Troup ranks, to find men holding, at the same time, several honorable and lucrative appointments.— v'v e know one individual of the Troup party, who now holds four appointments. But so soon as a Clark man is only solicited, and becomes a candidate—not for two, or flirte, or four cfiiees at once—but to step from one into another—a most lamentable dirge is raised against it. Now, who cannot see through tills cant about abandon ing one appointment for another? The truth is, this outcry is raised against Mr. Lumpkin, only because his enemies are ularmed at his appearance in the field. Some most uncharitable, unmanly end insincere at- temptshave been made, to impress die public mind with the belief, tliat Air. Lumpkiy is. opposed to general. Jack- son. Those who make the charge know it to lie false— those who make ihe charge, have been Jackson’s bitter est enemies—those who make the cl or?e, are the very men, who opposed Mr. Lumpkin and hi' ft.ends, on the oenj ground, that they were *Hn favor 0, Jackson.” It is now a pitiful attempt^ to “pin themscives to the sleeve” of Jackson’s popularity, when they find they can no lon ger resist that popularity in Georgia. This is indeed, ma king a virtue of necessity.—On the other hand, Mr. Ltunjv ion lias, from the first, remained-the undeyiating advocate f the President. It is a fact too notorious to be denied— •t remains in biack §tnd white—(let the Rccm'der, Jour nal, &.c. look to their files) that the Troup party and their presses, opposed—nay, vilified Jackson, as long as they ired to do it. They oppeniy preferred Mr. Adams, A r hat very time, Mr. Lumpkin was tlie firm, and j>ei secuted idvocate of Gen. Jackson.

Well says another, ‘let’s go in for the chink, any way—that nasty Penitentiary is burnt down—and if we give the masons ten dollars a piece, they will put up a handsome building to adorn the capital.” So we all concluded to “go in blind.” We know too, that the Lottery Commissioners are pretty clever fellows—we hear no complaint against ’em. But we have a heavy complaint against that tyrant of a fel low, commonly called, Poverty. We shan’t trouble you with all our names—but, you may be sure, there’s a plenty of us—aud we all want money—and to convince you that we are determined to throw off the yoke of that miscreant above-named, we send you, for publication, he following Declaration of Independence.

And aii these put together would be no Bible at aii. We should there fore have to look to the original entirely, like tlie Catho lic peasantry, to learn the word of God. N ow, we wouid ask “Baptist," who couldcorrect all these errors, if we had nobody that knew Greek, &c.? We think our friend “Baptist” and his brethren would fare badly; for the oth er denominations would blow them “out of die water”— and they would be like a fish upon dry land. Besides, our worthy friend, “Baptist,” has no objection to Hebrew, because he undemands the Bible w as written in Hebrew. W e are very sorry his iearned brother, or whoever gave liim the information, had not told him ihe New Testament was originally written in Greek, and tlm the Apostles who wrote it, were Jews, whose mother tongue was Hebrew—but still they understood Greek, Latin, &c. Now if Paul, and John, and Aiatthew, &c. &.c. could not only read, but write Greek correctly and classically, and they nothing but fishermen, why should not some of our plough-handle preachers know Greek and Latin too? If Greek and Latin would take away piety, God would not have suffered his Apostles to know them. Does Arithmetic spoil the piety of any of our preachers, Methodist, Baptist, or Presbyterian? Besides, if tlie young Ministers are to work for their learning, why not work to get a thorough education at once. We do not think a thorough education absolutely necessary to make a useful Minister. But we have nev er yet seen a learned and pious Alinister, who could not entertain and instruct, to-greater advantage than an igno rant one. Surely if there is any profession which calls into exercise all tlie powers of the human mind, it is di vinity. G od himself is all know ledge. He gave us intel lects to be improved to his honor and glory. He com mands his Ministers to be “wise as serpents"—to “bring forth tilings new and old.” "We find astronomy, poetry, oratory, all used by the divine writers, in pourtraying the grandeur of creation, and the unshakable glory of God. “Glory, and honor, and immortality” are the true objects DECLARATION OF INDEPENDENCE When in the course of human events, it becomes ne cessary for rich men who liave become poor, 01 poor na n who wish to become rich, to dissolve the impolitic bands which have connected them with Poverty, and to assures among the powers of the wealthy, the comfortable and equal station to which the laws 01 nature entitle them, a decent respect for tlie opinions of mankind, requires that they should declare the causes w liicty impel theffi to tii« separation. We hold these truths fo be self-evident, that ail men. arc created equal; that they are endowed by their crea tor with certain unalienable rights; that among these are •bread, meat, and the pursuit of property. That to secure nese rights, Lotteries are instituted among men, deriving dietr just powers from the consent of the Legislature-, that when any form of Poverty liecomes destructive of these ends, it is the right of adventurers to alter or abolish it, and '.o make a fortune, laying its foundat ions on such princi ples, and organizing it in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to efteet their safety and'happiness. Pru dence indeed will dictate that situations in life, long es- ablished,- should not be changed lor light and transient causes; and accordingly all experience has shown, that poor folks are more disposed to suffer poverty, while its evils are sutierable, than to enrich themselves by hard la? iior, to which they have been unaccustomed. But when, by a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing inva riably the same object, Poverty evinces a design to reduce them under absolute despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw oil" such government, and to purchase lotte ry tickets, for their future security. ►Such lias been the patient sufferance of these adventurers; and such is now ihe necessity which constrains them to alter their former systems of livelihood. _ The history of the present king of Poverty is a history of repeated injuries and usurpations, all having in direct object the establishment of an absolute tyranny over these ticket holders. To prove this, let facts be submitted to a candid w orld. He has refused us admission into banks, the most wholesome and necessary for the public good. He has forbidden his governors to pass laws for our im* med.aie and pressing necessities. He has refused to pass laws for the accommodation of large classes of people, unless those people w ould relin quish the right of being representatives in the Lcgisla* ture—a right inestimable to them and formidable 10 ty.- rants only. He has called together whole families cf men, women, and children in log huts, not very unusual, but very mv ci mfortable, and distant from tlie public treasures, tor the sole purpose of fatiguing them out of their lives. Hehas dissolved whole firms repeatedly, for bearing w ith manly firmness, his invasions on their stock and credit. He has refused for a long time aft er such dissolutions, to cause their credit to be re-established; whereby the money making pow ers, incapable of annihilation, have re turned to these Ticket-holders, for their exercise: their bodies remaining, in the mean time, exposed to all the dan? gers of casa's from without, and hunger within. He has endeavored to prevent the population ^>f fami lies; for that, purpose obstructing the laws for the accu mulation of estates; refusing to pass others-for their mi gration thither, raising the price of giants in the Land Lottery—and cutting the gold diggers out of a draw. Helias obstructed the ad minis Cration of justice by re- fusing us horses to lide to Court, to aid in executing the judiciary powers. ' He has made judges dependant on his will alone for their appointments. He has elected a multitude of judges and justices, and sent among us swarms of Sheriffs, and Constables, to le vy on our property and sell out our substance. He has kept among us, in limes of the Penitentiary, standing Bench Warrants, without our awn consent. He has affected to render the wealthy, independent of and superior to, the indigent citizen. He has combined with tyranny to subject us to K ju risdiction oppressive to our constitutions and uncomforta ble to our feelings; giving his assent to their acts of pre tended necessity. For quartering large bodies of suffering children among us. For protecting them by a piece of corn hoe-cake only» to keep them from actual starvation. For depriving us, in many cases, of the benefits of trial by a jury of our peer*—because, in poverty, we are u less For transporting us to jail, t» bq haprikaned. there debts we emmot pay. . ~ N r * - • • s . • •• *
